NY Times and intelligence leaks

SacTown Chronic · 06-27-2006, 11:14 AM

My thoughts on the specific issue of tracking banking transactions and the NYT's bean-spilling is that it's much ado about nothing. Bush's ridiculous comments about how revelation of this program puts America at risk strikes me as protesting too much. I mean, really, any American over the age of twelve knows the government tracks the financial activities of any and all suspected criminals. Any terrorist too dumb to know this probably lacks the financial resources to even catch the government's eye and is best suited for wearing the dynamite vest.

Most likely the leak came from the administration itself. Election year and all that rot. Bush gets to rail against the liberal media while at the same time the public gets a harmless peek into the inner workings of a hardon terror administration. Win-win, baby!
